Geocache Description:

Quick find along the Eliza Furnace bike trail, also known to locals as the "Jail Trail". This cache is NOT accessible from the parkway (I-376).

The Eliza Furnace Trail is part of the Three Rivers Heritage system and connects the Greenfield neighborhood to downtown Pittsburgh. It also connects via the Hot Metal Bridge to the South side. It is a paved, handicap accessible trail suitable for walking, jogging, biking, and skating.

The United States Penitentiary (USP) Leavenworth was the largest maximum security federal prison in the United States from 1903 until 2005. It became a medium security prison in 2005. It is located in Leavenworth, Kansas. The civilian USP Leavenworth is one of two major prisons built on the grounds of Fort Leavenworth. The United States Disciplinary Barracks is four miles north and is the sole maximum-security penal facility of the United States Military. The prisons operate independently of each other.

You are looking for a camo'd pill container. BYOP. Please exercise stealth. Enjoy!

Congrats to conundrum1989 for the FTF!
